rim size for tires

[MUDDING B-3000]

i have 31x10.5x15 roughrider tires and what size rims should i get for them i kno i need r15 but what width should i get i think the ones i have now are 7" wide so what size should i get? my rims are 5 bolt pattern an i was wondering what does it mean by like 5 by 4.5 bolt pattern?

5 on 4.5 means 5 bolt on a 4.5" pattern. For 10.5's a 7" rim is fine. If you go up to a 12.5" wide tire you'd need at least an 8", 10" would be even better.

ok cool thanks ya im goin to buy new rims sometime this week i think and i wasnt sure exactly what size i needed but one more question how do i tell if need 5x5 bolt pattern or 5x4.5?

I think yours and most or all rangers have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, and the 5x5 are the full size fords. Someone chime in here if i'm wrong. All else fails, just ask the person behind the counter where you are buying them and they should let you know anyways before you buy, as well as the offset for the rim.

Yep, 5x4.5" bolt pattern for ALL Rangers (and related vehicles)

I would get 15x8 rims for your 31s. Chances are you may find yourself wanting bigger tires sometime in the future, and the 8" rims would allow you to upgrade again while keeping the same rims.

ok cool thanks ya i think the offset of the rims im buying are like 3.75" and ya thats a good idea to get 15x8 cuz im probably goin to get biger tires so i can re used those rims cool thanks
